Was the Emperor really some god psyker fusion that existed for

Wait, what?

The latter. The whole "emps is a psychic union of thousands of shaman souls from the stoneage" is imperial propaganda so ancient that the imperium doesn't ever remember that they were supposed to pretend that it's true.

Maybe.

The Former. The Whole "Emps is just a lucky Pysker who made a Faustian Deal with the Chaos Gods" is Black Library Schlock pushed by Chaosfags and Fan-Fic tier writers who think making references to other stories and parables without understanding them or why they worked is deep.

Honestly, Emps backstory is sort of fucking retarded.

Like, a dozen only kinda psychic dudes merge and the result is stronger than all four Chaos gods? The math here is fucked.

And Eldar had reincarnation in the good old days too. So what this is telling me is that the Eldar passed up the chance to be awesome living gods, and does that sound like Eldar to you?

Leto II was best god emperor and would probably do a better job at handling the Imperium than Big E did.

It is sorta implied that the (A)Eldar(ai) stole the idea for Ynnead and shit from the Emperor, but being so much, in terms of Psychic power and potential, weaker then humans they needed million, maybe billions, of their souls to form a wet tranny fart that can't beat the weakest Ruinous Power in the Materium.
The Emperor was a whole bunch of humanity's greatest (at the time) psykers, maybe even as many as three dozen of them. They were primitive in the extreme, their powers unrefined and not living up to their fullest potential. Ergo, if the psychic gestalt theory is true, if the Emperor was created using the current most powerful psykers of 40k he would be fourth wall breakingly powerful.

Neither, the Emperor is really Malal.

Ynnead was born dead due to the Deathwatch fucking up the ritual, maybe he wouldve been as powerful as Slaanesh if it had gone according to plan.

Eldar are more powerful psykers than humans.
